– Back in March, Bubba Pollard won his second race of the year at Watermelon Capital Speedway and his second with the Southern Super Series at the venue.

They included Daniel Hemric, Kyle Grissom, Pollard, Kyle Plott, Connor Okrzesik, Stephen Nasse, Corey Heim and Jake Garcia.

– With just two races to go, Bubba Pollard leads Hunter Robbins by 10 points. Pollard knows a thing or two about close point battles.
